SUMMER TERM 1 TOPIC: Caring for Animals

LITERACY:

Book Focus: non-fiction books about the life cycle of egg laying animals

UW: It will be an exciting week in Reception as we await the arrival of some special eggs! About 6 eggs will arrive in a small incubator on Tuesday. They should hatch quite quickly, hopefully before the end of the week and the hatchlings will stay with us until the end of next week so there will be plenty of time to come in and have a look at them.

Phonics:

Group Phonics will continue this week, reviewing previous sounds and focusing on speedy blending of cvc and multisyllabic words

MATHS:

This week the children will learn the concept of sharing in maths – how to share a quantity of objects into equal groups. We will also review counting objects in groups of 2, 5 and 10.

the children will also revise correct number formation and orientation.

PE: Team game skills. This week the children will learn to use control and co-ordination skills for ball games. Due to warmer weather this term, the children may wear shorts for PE so please ensure these are in their PE kits. [/dropshadowbox]
